In the absence of our regular meetings and field trips, the DBC Board is pleased to present Mini-Tutorials on the DBC YouTube Channel.
This week we launch the Mini-Tutorial on five spotted thrushes (Gray-cheeked Thrush, Hermit Thrush, Swainson's Thrush, Veery, and Wood Thrush) + a couple of birds that may be mistaken for thrushes, the Brown Thrasher and Ovenbird. Presented by Denis Kania.
As meetings and field trips have been canceled for the short term due to the Covid-19 quarantine the Board offers a way to connect with you and enrich your birding experience. We are tapping the expertise of DBC President Denis Kania, who will record a range of Mini-Tutorials to provide bird identification strategies for challenging birds, tips for using our checklist, understanding parts of a bird, and more. This is timely content as migration gets underway!
Several Mini-tutorials are live and focus on yellow, female warblers, separating Louisiana and Northern Waterthrushes, a look at early-arriving small flycatchers and then a drilldown on bird topography to help you analyze what you see when you look at a bird. And more fascinating topics will follow.
